Tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite (September 16, 2026) emanates from Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia and will air starting at 8 p.m. ET on TBS and HBO Max.
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means - results, match winners, promo segment notes and other major developments from All Elite Wrestling will be added below as Dynamite airs.
Preview & Predictions for AEW Dynamite:
On tap for tonight's episode, AEW World Champion Will Ospreay teams with United Empire members Andrade El Idolo and Francesco Akira against Jon Moxley, PAC and Gabe Kidd of the Death Riders ahead of Ospreay's World Championship defense against Moxley at All Out; and Chris Jericho battles Nick Wayne.
Andrade being part of United Empire sure feels weird outside of the idea of just having him interact with Ospreay ahead of their inevitable future clash for the title. As such, I expect that relationship to flourish and fall apart over time with peaks and valleys. Do they lose here because Akira can take the pin? I could see that happening so Jon Moxley scores a win over Ospreay ahead of All Out. You want the challenger to look like he's going to win, after all. Of course, Tony Khan doesn't need to tell that story. If he's going for a situation of Ospreay wanting to prove himself to overcome Moxley, having Ospreay or Andrade pin PAC or Gabe Kidd doesn't solve that problem and make their match pointless by any means.
The Chris Jericho and Nick Wayne thing should go to Wayne. He's the younger star who will actually get something out of the victory. Jericho is decades past "needing this" by any means. Of course, that doesn't mean it is a guarantee Jericho loses. There's also the story of "veteran beats younger star to prove that there's still much to learn" and Wayne works his way up to beating Jericho on a bigger platform in a bigger match. Hopefully, at least by the end of this rivalry, the story plays out with Wayne coming out looking better than the track record of AEW's Jericho feuds have gone for his opponents he's supposedly been putting over. Ask how many times Daniel Garcia and Sammy Guevara were involved with Jericho and where their spots on the hierarchy have been.
Here are your results for AEW Dynamite - September 16, 2026:
- TBD - Trios Match: Will Ospreay, Andrade El Idolo and Francesco Akira vs Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC and Gabe Kidd)
- TBD - Singles Match: Chris Jericho vs Nick Wayne
